At four o'clock in the morning, the fortress of the Gula Mountains Pass was as bright as day.

The magician's illumination technique continued to rise into the air, and the surrounding flames continued to burn the fortress's giant wooden walls under the influence of elemental power.

Three hours after the sudden outbreak of civil war, the defenders of the fortress were gradually quelling the attack of Baron Jay-Gero's thousand-strong brigade.

But what neither side knows in the fight is that the real enemy is eyeing in the shadows.

A quarter past four,

The battle ended with the surrender of only three hundred soldiers outside the city.

"Buzz"

And at this moment, a loud military horn suddenly sounded under the night sky.

Just as the soldiers of the fortress looked around in confusion, countless sharp arrows dotted with cold light under the moonlight whistled and a cold cool breeze suddenly fell.

"Pounce"

The three hundred soldiers lined up at the gate of the city and one of the squadrons that received them were all hit by arrows, and screams, cries, and cries for help continued to sound in the splattering of blood.

"Enemy attack!" the soldier who was fighting the fire on the giant wooden wall was stunned for a moment, and then shouted at the top of his voice.

"Dangdangdang" alarm bell sounded.

Inside the fortress, thousands of soldiers cursed at the sound of alarm bells and took up arms again, most of them having no idea what was happening.

"Line up!"

"Check your gear!"

"Hurry!"

The officers began to run back and forth through the exhausted ranks.

In a few minutes, as the soldiers regrouped behind the bombed-out gates, the last of their sleepiness disappeared...

I saw that in the narrow passage outside the city gate, the shaking torches were as dense as fireflies in the summer grass, and the armor that was faintly visible under the firelight was one after the other, and the soldiers of the fortress swallowed their saliva involuntarily.

"Illumination!" a young knight yelled at the mage resting against the fence after wiping the cold sweat from his forehead on the giant wooden wall.

Soon, the white light rose into the air and exploded,

Outside the mouth of the passage canyon, under the white light, the first thing that caught the eyes of the defenders of the fortress was a dense array of spears with no end in sight.

The young knight's eyes were full of despair, and he subconsciously whispered, "Goddess, have you abandoned your people?"

"Why don't you retreat?" someone next to him suggested in a trembling voice.

"Withdraw now, those nobles will hang our whole family!"

"Prepare for battle," said the young knight with great reverence, "the goddess will protect us, and victory will favor us." With that, he straightened up and walked towards the gate below, and he wanted to exchange his courage for the goddess's attention.

...

The battle that had just stopped began again,

This time, the defenders of the fortress turned into weakling.

The battle ended earlier than the battle that had begun, and the defenders at the gates of the fortress held out for less than half an hour under the onslaught of the soldiers led by Harrens.

When Geerbock Donner entered the fortress, it was six o'clock in the morning, and he looked at the more than 600 captured defenders of the fortress and asked Sir Winley next to him, "Have you found Sir Hades?"

"No," Winley whispered, "but Sir Hades' men have brought news. ”

"What's the news?"

Winley looked left and right, then whispered in Gerbeck Donner's ear.

"Has the body been found?"

Wen Li smiled, "Found it, a headless corpse, I have secretly disposed of it." ”

"That's good. Geerbock Donner looked at the surrendered soldiers, "and according to Sir Hades's plan, the news was delivered... Let's just say that we took the fortress this time thanks to the help of Baron Jay Gero. ”

...

29th, three o'clock in the afternoon.

In the northwest corner of the left chaotic camp of the Highland Camp on the northern part of the Harrence Heights official road and the newly renamed Seaster Territory of Fort Harrynn, Sir Muvet Feller welcomes his guests.

A guest who has been visiting him frequently in recent times, Baron Udi Boku, a powerful lord of the Eastern Territory of the Fort Helion region.

There was no nonsense after the two met, and Udi Cooper said directly: "The war between Harusburg and Beenburg has begun, and I just got the news half an hour ago that Jebcock Donna has successfully occupied the fortress of the Gula Mountains, and it was just dawn today that Jebbo personally led an elite army to advance to Beenburg. ”

"Well—" Muvet-Phil bowed his head and said nothing, without much surprise on his face.

"Well, what's that!" Udi Kubo obviously wanted to scold, but he was trying to suppress his voice, "It's time for you to make a move, I've sheltered you for thirteen years, it's time to do something for me." ”

"I'm just wondering if we have a chance of beating the Reagans!" Muvet-Feller shrugged, "After all, it's the elite Guards of Fort Kawar in front of us!"

"Are you going to worry about our life or death?" "You just have to do what we planned, and maybe in the near future you will have a vast territory too, and then you can do whatever you want in your territory." ”

Hearing this, Muvet-Phil shook his head and grabbed the wine bag at his waist, and after taking two sips of the spirits, he said, "It seems that you want to add tasks to me?"

"Pretty good," said Udi Cooper, quieter, "Sir Glick of Kavalburg does not seem to be having a good deal with our Lord Bane, and word has come from the direction of Fort Herien, that Sir Glick will be coming to us recently. ”

"You want me to kill Sir Glick?" said Muvet-Feller immediately understood the other man's thoughts.

"There's nothing that angers the young man of Kawalburg more than that, does it?" Udi Cooper chuckled, his eyes full of disdain for Kawalburg's rule.

Muvet-Feller let out a breath of wine and lay down on a chair covered with hides like mud and asked in a low voice, "What I want to know is, why are you so confident that you will be able to defeat Pedy Reagan?"

"We don't need to beat Pedy Reagan, we just need to beat that little girl like Sheila Marne. Udi Cooper smiled happily and confidently, "Of course, if Kawalburg is going to have a big fight, we won't be afraid." ”

Muvet-Phil smiled and turned his back to Udi Cooper and said, "Kill Sir Glick and attack the Guards garrison in the Northern Route... That's my job. ”

"Yes..."Udi Cooper was a little unhappy with the attitude of Viket Feller right now.

"In an hour's time, someone will bring you Sir Glick's itinerary, so arrange it yourself. Udi Cooper didn't show his displeasure, he stood up as he spoke, "Don't contact me again." ”

After saying that, he didn't look back at this stinky tent.

Soon Muvet-Phil was left alone in the tent, and a chuckle like a ghost-like ghost came out of Muvet-Philer's mouth, and then he jerked himself up from the stinking animal skin spies.

"Grunt" he began to gulp down again, trying to anesthetize the growing brain with alcohol. After reproducing the incomplete memories of the scene thirteen years ago, his brain was constantly in pain.

Muvet Phil looked at the footprints left by Udi Kubo on the ground, and that strange laugh came out of his mouth again, and then whispered, "A bunch of greedy parasites..."

Yes, this is a bunch of greedy parasites!

The nobles of the Fort Herien region were more greedy than their master, Bane Lockton.

The huge income brought to them by the blockade of the territory in the past four months has released the greed in the hearts of the nobles to the maximum, and in less than four months, they have moved their eyes to the official road in the north where the Guards are stationed!

This group of nobles, whose eyes were sealed by greed, only had the mountains of gold coins in their eyes.

But Muvet-Phil sometimes admires the courage of these people, after all, they are betting on the future of the entire family!

However, these nobles think they are now equipped to challenge the Kaval Castle!

They thought that it would not be a problem at all to take the official road in the north.

They firmly believe that as long as they take the official road in the north and defend it, it will definitely be another paper agreement after a long time... At that point, they will be able to legally own the entire northern region of Harrence Heights!

Rightfully owning the entire northern part of Harrlens Heights is heartwarming just to think about... Compared to what you get, that little bit of gambling isn't a problem at all, is it?

'Chaos breeds ambition', and that's true.

Ever since last year, Cize-Devin of the Twak Lordship declared independence and established the Gondwak Kingdom, and Archduke Trophil-Cliff of Cullen declared the Archduchy of Rigrock...

Now, the dominance of the Central Empire is in jeopardy.

All these things can make the hearts of countless nobles start to breed the idea of emulating Nishizawa Devin and Trofil Cliff.

As soon as the opportunity is in front of them, they will drag it to death.

For the nobles of Herainburg, such an opportunity is right in front of them!

So, in order to seize this opportunity, they can use all the means at their disposal.

...

In the separate office of Pedi in the inner hall of Kawalburg,

The Chief of Military Intelligence, Danmen Green, is reporting: "The Byan Territory has responded, they have urgently gathered 20,000 men, and the local lords have responded to the call of Earl Jackf, and within three days, the Byan Territory can gather at least 30,000 people. ”

Pei Di rubbed his temples, "That means this war can't be solved in a short time?"

"Unless we use the garrison of Balan to help Jebcock Donna..."

"It's not yet time," Pedi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "besides, a prolonged standoff might be more beneficial to us." ”

Danmen-Green didn't answer casually, he looked at his pensive master and continued to report: "My lord, the nobles of Herienburg have been connecting recently... The MI spies told me that they seemed to be planning to do something to our Guards Regiment stationed on the northern official road. ”

"They're finally making a move!" Pedi didn't look surprised, but instead showed an interested look and asked, "Is it Viscount Bane?"

"No, it's the nobles who are privately linked. ”

Pedi leaned back in his chair and quipped, "Do you really think Bane Lockton would not know about this kind of thing?"

"But at least on the surface, Viscount Bane is not clear. Danmen-Green replied cautiously.

Pedi laughed "haha", and Danmen-Green immediately followed suit.

"Relay the message to Ser Cyrah for me," Pedi pointed to his Chief of Intelligence, "tell her that I don't know anything about Harrence Heights, even if the Guards take Fort Herien!"

Danmen Green was stunned when he heard this, his laughter stopped abruptly, and he asked cautiously, "Are you the original words?"

"Yes, exactly!" said Pedy, laughing merrily, "tell Sir Cyrah what I said as quickly as possible!"
